let's bring back one of the classics

dirtbag brain memes
- motivates you to work out / once
- 7pm yo let's go to bed / 2am hey, let's stay up forever
- insists you forgot something / won't tell you what it is
- realizes how grateful you are for certain relatives / immediately begins to imagine scenarios where they die
- lulling you off to sleep, softly slipping off into OH GOD / oh phew glad you weren't actually falling and slamming into the ground, go back to bed
- has the capacity to store and memorize an almost infinite amount of information / won't
- passionately hates a song / can't stop singing in your head
- convinces you to do something / then makes you feel bad for doing it
- recognizes all of its problems / decides to change nothing
- chapped lips? / just lick `em, bro

Jim Jordan is famous for intentionally "Not knowing specifics"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 11h

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

I read 4 brutal takedowns of the comedians that did the Saudi comedy show but the one that is most brutal is Human Rights Watch saying they don’t want their blood money

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

And, as he will never say, Poland in 1939 declined to invade the USSR as a German ally. And then the USSR agreed to invade Poland as a German ally. Details in my book "Black Earth"

❗️Putin's logic:Poland has provoked Hitler who wanted to find a peaceful solution:

Poland made many mistakes.Germany offered to resolve the issue of Danzig&the Danzig Corridor peacefully.The Polish leadership at the time categorically refused&,in the end, became the first victim of Nazi aggression

Kota Ibushi is one of those insane humans where for 20 years they appeared to never age and be immune from physical harm, and then one day it's like the Final Destination specter of death says "Oh fuck, I forgot about that guy" and the backlog of maladies hits them all at once.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Between HBK, HHH and The Undertaker, who would you want running your lucha promotion?

It's so weird that people are offended at the surprise of Andrade's return to AEW, considering his last exit.

I treat it like I treat Rush, I wouldn't want the headache, but it's not my headache, so I just get enjoy Rush giving Cha Cha Charlie a rough night at the office.

Mistico would like to have ‘double contract’ with CMLL & US promotion

Mistico would like to sign a wrestling contract in the United States while remaining a top star for CMLL in Mexico. Since AEW & CMLL formed their close working relationship, we’ve seen luchadors like Hechicero sign AEW deals while remaining contracted to CMLL.

So you know when WWE does some bullshit and the Fed trolls throw up their hands and go "what do you want the talent to do about it?"

This. I'd like them to do shit like this.
